Hope your financial security, food security and your daily activities is not or won't be affected by the population of hungry beings who will definitely come for what you already have and enjoy.

Hope you stay safe and enjoy your govt of the day when the rain gets to your own roof.

Salem!!!

Kindly analyse how Peter Obi would have made the difference by governing in a way that Nigerians would have been healed from Buhari’s 8 years of maladministration?

Eriokanmi:
So, not Ipobs again? . I thought only ibos were tagged obidients. What a colossal reasoning by those who crave ineptitude. You ain't seen nothing yet. Ęyin l'okan, as we can all see.

The obidients cut across all tribes and religions in this country.

It is a movement.

DominusPrime:
Don’t mind them jare. Imagine if Tinubu should now give them a 2nd blow by releasing his first class results. Abi don’t you think so?

You’re a satirist! 😀🤣🤣

Commendable!

Good way to live and play politics.

We win some, we loose some!

Mutual relationship should continue.

Dave Umahi did the right thing the wrong way

Dave Umahi was very wrong to have locked up the gates to the ministry because the civil service is a well structured organisation with rules and regulations.

Lateness to duty, stealing, fighting, absenteeism, malingering, insubordination, lackadaisical attitudes, etc are treated by issuing queries and following up with the required punishments.

Punishments are administered based on the offences as all offences don't carry the same punishments.

Punishments could be
1. warning
2. Suspension
3. demotion
4. Dismissal
5. Dismissal and handing over to the police
6. etc

The workers in the ministry knew that Dave Umahi shot himself in the foot with his tyrannical ways and thought him a lesson by demonstrating against him and Dave Umahi had to come down and be apologising to the workers.

BTW: I am not a staff of the ministry of work or any other ministry sef but rules are rules

All your points are valid!

However, those can best be applied to individuals but those staff are too many to administer the due process. (I’m not condemning due process)

The whole country now have the knowledge that staff in the federal ministry of works, Abuja are habitual late comers

KingLennon:
You will not last. You have to create a balance between authoritarianism and permissiveness

If you had had an important appointment in that office by 10am and the staff that was to attend to you was clocking in by 1pm. How would you feel?

Failure of the Blackman to take responsibility and do the right thing is one of the reasons we are stagnant and backward.

stuffs2002:
Dave Umahi was wrong

How?

I’m not mocking him, but he’s having a firsthand experience of the trauma and pains victims of these wicked kidnappers are passing through.

Any country that neglects SME is toiling with fire.

Every multinational corporation of today started as an SME.

Our varying administration economic policy formations are detrimental to the survival of the SMEs.

Obidients are yet to recover from the heavy knockout they received at the presidential polls.

Johnson5258:
It is a carrot and stick approach, there is going to be a reprisal. You can imagine their effrontery, telling Minister he was just going all about doing things and didn't carried them along so that they can use the old approach, I'm a tax payer and these ones are spending my money and going to work 12noon to 3pm while i work 8am to 6pm standing throughout. I keep saying it that the problem of this country is just a little of the government but largely of the populace. So other appointees who cannot control them will join them, move money and move on.

Nigerians has to be fair to Nigeria by doing the right thing.

You’re 100% on point.

All the corrupt politicians were tutored by the civil servants on how to dip their hands into the cookie jar.

That’s why the civil servant observe the body language of every newly appointed/elected political office holder to know where and how to react.

They derive joy when they observe that the latter would continue to old rotten ways while the fight and launch propaganda against the few who want to effect positive change.

A good lesson is the Bunmi Tunji-Ojo of Interior Ministry.

fitinwell:
You are Wrong.. that's what is expected from a Leader...

So you prefer the rude and indecorous working styles of the civil servants.

Odibembem:
That means u were perhaps too young when OBJ was president. So which bad road did Anenih fix? Go and find out how Gemade and Audu Ogbeh were removed as PDP national chairman, find out how Okadigbo was r moved as SP. Anenih was called Me Fix it cos he fixed political issues for OBJ not just as Minister which was only for 3 yrs but as BOT chair. He was also called The Enforcer

OBJ used propaganda to boot out those guys from their respective offices. He sponsored malicious comments that created bitterness about them.

Tony Anenih even threw a jab at OBJ when the later said they should ask Anenih about the N27b budget allocated for the Abuja - Lokoja - Benin federal highway.

Anenih said ‘how can a military guy turned civilian question a man (himself) whose trade is politics’

An individual cannot constitute cabal, it takes more than an individual to do that. Beyond Anenih, you can’t point to another folk. He was never a cabal under OBJ.

The lawyer don hammer if this were to be in US.

He just sue the officer and the agency with huge damages.

The court will award a huge monetary compensation while the officer(s) will loose their jobs.

I don’t believe a disciplined man like Umahi will stoop low to apologize for taking the right step.

I’ll be iron-handed if I were to head any government agency because most civil servants lack discipline. They believe their union to protest and protect them.

Food poisoning?

Didn’t she have a personal cook?

Wike’s confession and experience comes to mind.

It’s a lesson that people in top positions should be careful of what and where they eat and who serves them.

I’m every dispute/argument, truth is the casualty.

And time is a gentleman, it will reveal the truth sooner or later.

The Blackman is the enemy of the black race and we keep blaming colonial masters for our ordeals. For how long shall we continue to blame colonialism?

Odibembem:
So why was Tony Anenih called Me Fix It under OBJ? Was that not cabal itself?

Tony Anenih was never a cabal under OBJ.

The ‘Mr Fix It’ was as a result of him being the minister of works to ‘put the bad roads in proper shape’

This article is referring directly to the DSS. It is the only organization that has the time and tools to effect that.

The Police is so useless that any idiot with naira can influence them.

You must know that the DSS guys are creepy and everywhere. A good lesson is one of their officers that stabbed a man in Oshogbo last month.

Pls fear DSS.

A brother once told me a story of about the experience of his junior brother who was a car dealer in Ikare-Akoko.

He said the auto dealers had a particular area as market in that town. He (the junior brother) said the auto dealers were many and they used to gather to play and discuss all the time.

And there was this particular fellow whom they thought was part of them (thinking he was a dealer). And there was a particular day that one of them saw an ID card on the floor and took it, behold, it reads the picture and name of that fellow as a DSS officer.

He said they took the ID and kept it with one of their Ogas at the auto mart. So, some moment later, they saw him (the DSS guy) stylishly looking around but won’t ask anyone and they all keep quiet.

He said it took their oga to tell the DSS guy that we saw an ID card on the floor with your name and picture on it. He said the guy said yes, it belongs to him.

It was this time that the DSS guy opened up that he’s on intelligence gathering to the fold of the auto dealership in that Akoko axis.

He confessed that he left to send the morning report (intelligence) and his ID fell on his way home that morning.

The funniest thing is that they ceased to see that guy since that day. I guess he was withdrawn back to the office or another mission field in a different location.

I’m advocating that only people with university degree in political science should be allowed to play politics.

Why?

You need a minimum bachelor degree in law to practice as a lawyer.

Only graduates from medical schools are certified to become doctors.

You can’t practice as an engineer without a university degree.

So why are we allowing people without knowledge of political science to venture into politics .

Ethnic jingoism among Nigerians = Blackman undoing fellow Blackman. It is directly proportional to stagnation and backwardness.

OBJ remains the only president without cabals around him in this our democratic era.

Every president with cabals around them always ended up becoming a disaster.

Cabals around Tinubu are: Gbaja, Alake, Remi, Tunde Rahman, ……. You can add yours .

Sillymoderators:
Imagine late commers protesting.

I live in the US, you can’t come late to work and protest. You’ll be fired at the second attempt and it goes straight to your work profile in the labor office. That’s why some black folks are unemployable because they’ve messed up their job records.

Their human right does not apply to you coming late to work.

softy:
Corruption is a pre- breakfast meal in Naija.
It is an important part of air composition in Naija.
It is the new emblem we adore!

Who will deliver us from this?

It takes well determined leader who matches words with action to effect a change.

We can learn from Late Prof. Dora Akunyili and here sterling reforms in NAFDAC and Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa and his current exploits in NDLEA.

An organization or institution takes shape from the leadership body language.

Fuckyoumod:
just shut up!
Who is effecting the change?
So Umahi is your new corruption fighter?

Umahi lacks the moral right to effect any change because he is part and one of the corruption.

So you’re directly saying we should keeping encouraging the tradition of impunity and indiscipline in the civil service?

It seems you’ve not fallen victim of the rot and evil services by these civil servants.

It takes a a determined leader to set the pace for an institution to follow.

A good example is the warning by the minister of interior that he won’t allow a situation where issuing passports will take forever to get. Do you think the senior immigration officers will be happy with him? No! The simple reason is because those wicked officers profit from the pains and agony of we helpless Nigerians that patronize their offices.

loswhite:
What kind of stupid change is that? Must we always behave like zoo ppl? He can inta simple clocking system. How do you lock ppl out like kids? Stupid politicians. Will he lock himself out the day he comes late?

Would you allow your staff to be reporting to work by 9:35an when the official resumption time is 9:00am if you own a company.

Mixing sentiments to sensitive issue is the major reason why the black race will never advance. These same civil servants connive with contractors to manipulate road designs and over-inflate contracts and you’re here supporting them.

kingjoe:
ask questions.umahi is even more wicked than wike.
You will agree with me soonest

By ‘wickedness’: do you mean STRICTER, IRON-HANDED or MORE DISCIPLINED than Wike?

Effecting change in a corrupt system will definitely attract attacks from those benefiting from the rots.

They won’t try this with wicked Wike.

So Seun has suddenly become an economist. He should better face his Nairaland forum and design ways to chisel out the ethnic jingoists trying to hijack it.

The speaker should be slammed with contempt of court to saying this.

Is the separation of power functioning in Nigeria?

Rossikk:
The so called Jews are not descendants of the ancient Israelites. They are Europeans, children of Japheth.

Which of the Jews?

The Jews came from Israel, Israel came from Isaac, Isaac came from Abraham, Abraham came from Hebrew and the Hebrews were descendants of Shem.

All these dictatorial governors read the book of how to change deputies written by Tinubu between 1999 and 2007.
